Additional information
This fuel tank support, part number 7024852, helps hold the fuel tank securely in place so it stays aligned with fuel lines and mounting points during operation. Proper support reduces movement that can stress connections or cause leaks.
If the fuel tank feels loose, shifts during use, or shows signs of misalignment, the support may be cracked, bent, or worn. Excessive vibration around the tank area can also indicate the support is no longer holding the tank securely.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Drain or secure the fuel tank as needed, then install the support in the correct position and tighten mounting hardware evenly to keep the tank stable.
